2026
July 8th 7.30 pm – Nicola Potter – Metal detecting and finds from Gloucestershire
Nicola Potter of the Cotswold Heritage & Detection Society has unearthed “lots of rubbish” in her time detecting, but also lots of really interesting finds. In this fascinating presentation, Nicola reveals what lies beneath the fields of our county — and how those hidden stories can be brought back to light. She’ll be sharing the discoveries she has made over the past four years, alongside the historical facts that help identify and date each item. Items she has found range from buckles, tools, buttons and jewellery to weaponry and coins used for trading, each offering a glimpse into the lives of the people who once lived and worked here.
Nicola will also be bringing along a selection of her finds so we can see them up close — a rare chance to view real pieces of local history at close quarters.
